Chapter 3 - Flashback

"Annabella are you strapped in?" my mum said to me from the front seat of our car.

"Mum my name is Annabelle." I said to her, but really I didn't care. We were waiting for my dad to finish getting ready so we could leave. We were going to visit my grandmother for my tenth birthday in Queensland and visit all the theme parks near her house.

"Hurry up honey, we want to get there by tomorrow." My mum called out to my dad, knowing it only takes 3 hours to get there even though we live in New South Wales.

"Yer daddy, we want to go." I say as he makes his way to the car.

"Ok, ok ladies are we ready to go." He says to the two of us. The trip there for me was mostly a blur as most of the time I sleep, not knowing that this would be the last time I would see my parents. We are only about half an hour away when it happens. It was all so quick that not even my dad sees the truck run the red light and hit us.

I wake up screaming for the third time that week. Another bad dream, but this one felt so real. I slowly sit up and look over to Charlotte, who is now awake because of me.

"Another bad dream? It was about them, wasn't it?" She asks me. All the other times this week I have lied and said it was something else; I guess I owe her the truth this time.

"Yer, back when they died. Only this time I knew it was coming and there was nothing I could do. I just wish I could see the one more time. My dad was perfect for my mum even though he wasn't 'pure blood." I said. Even just thinking of their death made me feel sick. My mum had been pregnant when she had died, but the baby had also died. Somehow I was glad that the baby wasn't here, because they would have to be here without parents and have to deal with everything at a young age. I always thought it was the dark daughter trying to rid us from the world, just they didn't do a good enough job as I survived the crash and ended up here to learn about why I was different than most of the students that went here.

When we woke up the next morning Charlotte didn't say anything about last night, almost as if it had never happened.

"Good morning Charlotte," I said trying to brighten the mood. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yer sure, what's it about?" Charlotte hated the dark daughter and was only in their little club to make her mother happy.

"Would the dark daughters ever try and kill someone to get rid of an imperfection in their original families?" with that she gave me a strange look as if to say yes they would, just stop asking.

"No," she said in an innocent voice as if they were listening. Of course they were, why wouldn't the.

"Ok, thanks anyways." I said as I went off to get ready. Since I had left they had brought in uniforms to tell the difference between normal and pure blood, as I was both, I got to wear the pure blood. The only difference was the colour, normal was blue pleated skirt and white shite with a simple tire, while the pure bloods got a nice purple colour. It was kind of cute. For the boys, they got the same colours with black pants and blue or purple jackets with white shirt and blue or purple tie.

Being a half half type person was good as I got to be involved with all the things that dark daughters did, like parties and trips, but at the same time I looked different from them all so the normal people would talk to me and some of the boys would even ask me out. I had been here for two months now and I was almost popular, just not with the dark daughters. Yer sure they didn't hate me as much as they did, but now the kind of just accepted that they wouldn't get rid of me any time soon. The only problem was Catherine. She was back to her fun evil ways of trying to ruin my life. It was funny how she was doing it though. First she tried to get back at me by becoming interested in Issac again, but Issac and I hadn't talked since that night he came to my room, I had been trying to avoid him. After Catherine figured that out she tried to win over Charlotte, but Charlotte hold a grudge against anyone for a very long time so there was no luck there. So in the end she just gave up, instead she just told everyone lies that didn't work either.

"Annie, Annie, Annie!" I heard Charlotte yell as she tried to wake me up after one of her meeting, which I still chose not to attend. "You will never guess what; I have the perfect way to set you and Issac up."

"What?" I said shooting straight up in bed to see what she was on about.

"There is going to be a dance. You should ask Issac" she looked like a two year old who had just got the best toy in the world

"Why on earth would I do that? If you haven't noticed, we aren't talking at the moment; I have actually been avoiding him for the last few weeks."

"Ok, forgot I ever brought it up than. At least come shopping on the weekend so we can buy dresses."

"Fine." I still didn't even know if I was going to go. But I guess Charlotte was going to drag me there if I wanted to go or not.
